A new survey suggests that 41 per cent of adults in the UK have not listened to an album in full in the last year.<\/p>\n

National Rail\u2019s Track Reset<\/a> campaign, which aims to encourage listeners to seek music outside of their comfort zones, shared the results of a survey of 2,000 UK adults which painted a stark picture of the popularity of the album format in an era where streaming dominates.<\/p>\n

41 per cent of those surveyed had not listened to a full album (from beginning to end) in the last year, with eight per cent admitting they had never done so. Repetition was also a common factor, with those surveyed listening to their favourite track an average of 343 times a year. Reasons given for going back to the same songs include nostalgia (50 per cent), comfort (50 per cent), and simply \u201cI like what I like\u201d (65 per cent).<\/p>\n

To encourage exploration in listeners, National Rail partnered with DJ Adriano Desire and music psychologist Dr Ruth Herbert to create Track Reset, a three minute track designed to \u201cclear the palette\u201d and make the listener more receptive to musical discovery.
